Great soundtrack - reminded me of being a little kid (especially the Eagles song, "Take It Easy")and going to rockin' backyard barbecues where I'd steal sips of beer. Classic conglomeration of all the early '70s faves. Such a universal appeal - kids, even though it may feel like you're rummaging through your parents record collection, all of these songs transcend their time periods. I remember singing along to "Free Bird" in the back of a Camero long after the song (and the car!) was in style. Get this soundtrack, and go see the movie, too - it's kind of a chick flick disguised as a guy flick - which means that everyone will like it.

I grew up a disco kid, and I was always in awe of the kids who fixed up their hotrods in their driveways...and this music was what was blaring out of them. Sort of an early 70's classic rock primer (plus "Band on the Run", which isn't really rocking, but still a good song). Either you know all this stuff and want it, or you don't and you don't.

I haven't even bought the CD or seen the movie yet, but once I saw the music line-up, I couldn't believe such a fantastic compilation of songs had been put together. There's not a bad song on the CD. In fact, they're time-tested and lasting favorites.

"Dancin' In the Moonlight" is MY song! I've waited so long to get this one hit wonder song on a good compilation album. In fact, I ordered it because it was on this one! This song has always screamed "happy" and taken me back to a favorite time in my life (one not filled with anyone in particular, but just singular happy moments and dreams of what "might be"). Of course, I know all of the other hits too. This album runs the gamut from my early teens right through my college years. I remember dancing to all of these at many a frat party. Incredible grouping of some fantastic songs! I'm sending this one to my best friend. Won't HE be surprised? Man, this one REALLY takes me back......and back.....and back........shhhhh.....gotta go dance now! (BIG GRIN!)

A GOOD VARIETY OF MUSIC FROM BADFINGER TO THE WHO JUST GREAT TUNES IN THIS SOUNDTRACK WHEN I SAW THE MOVIE I HAD TO GET THE CD AND ALSO A DIFFERENT VERSION OF TEN YEARS AFTER CUT 5 I HAVEN'T HEARD BEFORE...A GOOD SOUNDTRACK FINALLY...

This record is for those who saw Outside Providence and those who did not. For those who did, the songs will happily bring you back to the funny and poignant scenes of this special movie. For those who have not seen the movie, the album reads like a "who's who" of some of the greatest, most popular songs of the last 30 years. Remember when everybody was updating their vinyl collection with CD's? Well, this record puts some of the biggest hits of all time on one cd. You don't need to dust off your vinyl and, just as good, you don't need to put on many different cd's to listen to these favorites. Highly recommended.

I use to list to my son's CD of OP. I played it so much that I wore it out!

How do I define a "good" soundtrack or a "good" motion picture score? I ask myself: "Will I enjoy the album EVEN though I have not seen the film?" I love this disc. I also love the movie. But even if you have not seen the movie, this soundtrack is a great buy. I enjoy most of the tracks.

The movie is great: rent it!

This is an awesome collection of classic rock! Great Tunes, Good Times, Picm this up if you're into REAL rock n' Roll!

This is 1 of the best soundtracks ever. every song on here is a classic. from start to finish it is sheer classicness. There could've been more songs but most CDs could have more songs.

Does any one know the song that was playing on the record player when they all got busted by Mr Funderburk in their dormroom?
